  I’ve migrated my chaptersevendesign.co.uk domain to WordPress and now I need to set up my email and I’m receiving this message.

  This domain currently has custom mail servers defined in its DNS settings. This means that WordPress.com Email Forwarding is not available for this domain, and that you should manage your email with your email provider.

  The email servers for this domain are:

  failover1.email-cluster.com.
  mx1.email-cluster.com.
  mx2.email-cluster.com.

  my email addresses are …
  (email visible only to moderators and staff)
  (email visible only to moderators and staff)

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Regards

  Andy Smith

  Hello there,

  Sort of!

  I dont want to forward my emails. I want to be able to send emails from my original email addresses via email. Using pop3 and smtp – is this possible? Or do I set up my emails a different way on WordPress?

  I’m new to all of this?

  Regards

  Andy

  I still want to be able to send emails through MS Outlook and my iPhone. I just need help in pointing my email addresses to the correct servers if that makes sense?

  On WordPress.com, we do not provide email hosting, but you can connect email hosting from another provider to your custom domain. Here are instructions for using email with your custom domain:
